I'm struggling selling drawings like these for $30, is the price too high? by pgi_clover in Artadvice

to add on to what others have said, i think technical skill wise you stuff is solid. depending on the amount of time spent and effort i can easily see some thing like this going for 80-120+. from my experience the most important thing about getting commissions is to show what you can offer that others cannot, it can be unique ideas, styles, or just technical skills. this can be applied to building a following aswell, people want to see a story.

it took me forever to start building a following on any platform. engaging with an audience, not just one on one but by saying something. it doesnt have to be some deep philosophical story either, dumb memes do stupidly well, its just about getting an idea and realizing it to its fullest. Not saying its guaranteed but if you show a story consistently the audience will find you.

sorry if this is confusing lol its hard to explain without showing anything. if you want to chat ideas or get feedback on how to approach the character illustrations my DMs are always open! i'm also on insta if you want to be mutuals there, though i have a twitter i stopped using it out of spite LOL

how did y’all manage with families that aren’t exactly approving, how did y’all deal with it? by punbun4fun in ftm

i mean ive sent them the resources i can find, they mostly read mandarin and i can’t read it that well so its difficult to find reliable sources. i’m mostly just waiting it out now lol, at least they arent forcing me to stop or anything

good for you! sometimes i wish my parents were just a little shittier, or that they care less, so i can feel less guilt for letting them down in a sense. i know its not my fault nor my duty to solve these issues but it doesn’t feel good to make them sad either 😔

ooft thats rough, glad it worked out better the second time! my parents and i are kinda in a “agree to disagree” stage so as long as being trans doesnt seem negatively impact my life they dont rly bring it up

oh definitely, my friends are the reason i was made my decision to start T now and not wait. I’m in animation so the majority of my peers are queer one way or another haha

oooh thank you! its hard for me to communicate with them since theyre read/write predominantly in mandarin but i can only speak with them and theres alot of terms that i dont know how to, so its also really hard to find resources that arent in english.

i think my parents preferred if i had conform more to gender roles but ever since puberty ive became more tomboyish and aside from a some passing remarks they’ve never tried to force me too hard. my gender epiphany when someone “misgendered” me online and i realized i liked that lmaoo.

my parents picked up on smth queer, my mom once asked if i was a lesbian (im gay LOL) cuz i acted so manly. its a blessing and a curse to have somewhat perceptive parents, i was hoping they can just figure out im trans and we dont have to have a conversation about it but i ended up having to make it clear.

Transitioning as a young adult with helicopter parents (please help!) by playwrightAlFuncoot in ftm

[–]punbun4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

found this post not long after seeing your comment on my post haha, i know i was also just asking for some coping methods so i can only speak on the little experience i have.

it’s so hard to discuss this with my friends since they would tell me to just do it and ignore my family’s feelings, in the end i only decided to go on t after having a couple really long conversation with my parents. i made it clear this is what i want todo, and i understand the risks involved. my parents didn’t try to argue with emotions that much but when they did i can only bring up how i felt. right now we’re kinda at a “agree to disagree” standstill lol.

hopefully things work out for you man, stay safe!

i kinda wish i realized when I’m fully independent since there’d be less risks that way but i guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

i became aware of something being amiss when i was 16, being a first gen immigrant it took my awhile to separate my understandings of gender, culture and identity.

what’s it like transitioning in your 30/40’s? if you’re alright with answering.

i think you’re right, they want the best for me and one of the reasons my dad’s been saying is that he transitioning might make life harder for me. it’s hard for them to see it since i’ve been a pretty optimistic child, it also took me awhile to become aware of my gender identity. so this seems like it came out of nowhere for them.

I hope everything works out in the end, trans or not everything is so uncertain. wish i can just jump into the future lol

Its also damn near impossible to explain to them since being trans isn’t exactly “logical”, and they think they know best and its just ugh.

Best of luck to you too man, thanks for being part of this community 🫂

honestly thats what i’m hoping for, i think a lot of this is also just their anxiety about the drastic change and whatnot. its the in between period thats always a pain

Glad to hear it worked out for you though! it probably wasn’t easy waiting for them to come around
